The stars came out for U2 at the Rose Bowl over the weekend as close to a 100,000 people attended the concert. David Beckham, Demi Moore, Ben Stiller, Kellan Lutz, Colin Farrel, Paris Hilton & Doug Reinhardt were in attendance………

Morrissey collapsed onstage at a concert in Swindon, UK and was rushed to the hospital for breathing difficulties. Morrissey has had a few health problems on this tour but I am told he is stable and is OK. I hope so. No word on any other shows getting cancelled or postponed at this time……

The  Jonas Brothers performed at Caribbean Island of the Dominican Republic, rocking out their biggest hits after a press conference for the event…..

I got this tip through my cell Saturday afternoon: “Amy Winehouse is serving pints behind bar at Hawley Arms right now!” I did request pics but they were afraid Amy might go after them and start a fight, so they just decided to enjoy their pints and be amazed by what happened. I can’t blame them. How cool is that though to show up at a bar and a celeb is behind serving them to you?……..

Ivanka Trump got married this weekend to Jared Kushner, who is the publisher of the New York Observer. They were married at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ……….

Katy Perry celebrated her 25th birthday, throwing a white halloween party that saw the likes there such as boyfriend Russell Brand, Tayor Swift and Perez HitlerHilton. With that last name, I guess it was a substandard event. Still, we wish Katy a happy and sexy 25th birthday.

The Hollywood burglar bunch has been caught. Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge, Paris Hilton and Orlando Bloom were some of the victims……

The mom of the Balloon Boy admitted the whole thing was indeed a hoax. No need to mention their name and give them more time……

A girl that has been missing since attending a Metallica concert had more money put into the search to find her. Metallica has put up 50 Grand to find the missing girl. Hope this helps find her…….

So after days of it being talked about and after pulling all Warner Bros. videos from youtube 9 months ago, Warner Music has struck a deal with youtube.

No word on how this will effect videos by Madonna and Metallica, Warner Bros. artists. It was stupid for labels and artists to go after youtube. It’s great they are getting paid but it’s promotion. We don’t watch videos on whack-ass MTV anymore.  With youtube getting close to actually getting on television, it makes sense for labels to latch on to something that will handle advertising for them.

Here is more on the deal. Do you still watch MTV for music videos or do you turn to blog sites such as the esteemed Dr.Funkenberry & YouTube?-Dr.FB

Metallica, Bruce Springsteen, U2, and other rock legends will come together for two concerts in October to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Concerts held on October 29th and 30th, 2009 at New York City’s Madison Square Garden will trace the history of rock and roll, from soul to hard rock, will also feature Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin,  and Stevie Wonder.

Proceeds from the concerts will help raise money for a permanent endowment for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation and Museum which was founded by Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.

Warner Bros. is celebrating it’s 50th Anniversary with this video montage of the amazing artists who have worked for the WB.

With the way the Internet has changed the music game, it will be a miracle if they make it to see a 60th Anniversary. (So, ahem, can they get the master’s back before then?)

Who was the first artist to kick off the video montage of Warner’s greatest artists? Watch and find out, but you really shouldn’t be surprised.

Blink and you’ll miss Madonna. Hehe.-Dr.FB

Update: as of 12/22/02, Warner Bros. have removed ALL videos from youtube.  It was the label’s decision and not one particular artist.-Dr.FB

Don't Hate The Name. Respect The Game.

Run D.M.C., Metallica, The Stooges, Jeff Beck, Wanda Jackson, Little Anthony and the Imperials, War, Bobby Womack, and  Chic are the 9 hopefuls to get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.  Only 5 will get in. 

Chic, the Stooges and Jackson have been previously nominated.  The inductees will be announced in January with the ceremony taking place April 4th, 2009.  The ceremony will be returning to Cleveland and leaving New York behind.  For the first time ever, fans will be able to buy tickets to the event. -Dr.FB
